Final answer:
The total width of the wood and larth, after adding 1/16 inch thick larth to both edges of a 3/4 inch wide wood strip, is 7/8 inch.
Explanation:
The width of the wood and larth is found by adding the thickness of the larth to both edges of the wood strip. Since the wood strip is 3/4 inch wide and the larth is 1/16 inch thick, we need to add the thickness of the larth to both sides of the wood strip.
- Add the thickness of one larth to one side of the wood strip: 3/4 inch + 1/16 inch.
- Since the larth is glued to both edges, apply this addition again to the other side: 3/4 inch + 1/16 inch + 1/16 inch.
- To simplify the addition, convert all measurements to sixteenths: 12/16 inch + 1/16 inch + 1/16 inch.
- Combine the sixteenths: 12/16 inch + 2/16 inch = 14/16 inch.
- Reduce the fraction if possible: 14/16 inch reduces to 7/8 inch.
The total width of the wood and larth is 7/8 inch.
